Real wages have been flat since the 1970s ( https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us... ). "Okay, so people's living standards are about the same since 1970?" Not even cl

Right there with you. There are a LOT of us. This is ostensibly why they've allowed old.reddit.com to live for so long despite almost no development and maintenance anymore. This IPO will probably be the catalyst for some "house c

Serving a few more lines of text is trivial, even at Reddit's scale. It is absolutely about making the mobile user experience worse for those who do not wish to download the app.

There are lots of interesting potential new homes popping up, including SaidIt.net, Tildes.net, Gab.com, even Parler.com and/or whatever Donal Trump has announced. Problem for all of them is their lack of critical mass. Reddit is slowl

>- It doesn't handle different languages well. No in-page translation, no automatic language detection for text correction, etc. This is what keeps me away. There are extension options on desktop but no solution for mobile.

I cycle to work now on an ebike and it's awesome. Just need to dress warm when it's cold. One catch is there's an obvious range limitation. If it takes longer than other forms of transport, people are going to choose the othe

It's all about reading the room. If you're talking to a hostile crowd you're not going to expose weakness. I hope that most of these internal alignment meetings are not hostile, and are instead conducted with the intent to
